Looks like the typical WIFI problems if you would ask me. First try to eliminate ALL possible problems, such as WIFI, then we can look further.

Connect your PC via a wired connection to your router/modem. If that does not solve any issues we could consider the IPS as there is a package loss on the final step towards their servers.

However this might not be an issue YOUR IPS is causing but an issue with the "route the packages are taking".

But as said, first things first. Since there is already package loss between your PC and the router its likely that the problem already start to exist there.

Hi - i am connected to router by Devolo plug- using house wiring.

Its never been this bad - for 4 years.

i do have new plugs (for the kiddies) but saving them for Jan 3rd installation of end-to-end fiber backed FWA microwave network.

Maybe that'll be better as i will be wired straight to router.

cheers

I do not know about the house wiring but I known several people who had or had problems with that.

I dont know if you have a ethernet cable at hand but that SHOULD BE your first concern. Yes I know that might involove the movement of the PC itself but the LAN cable or ethernet cable (whatever its called in English)) is far more reliable than any other option you could use.

Also they are super cheap. I myself always had MASSIVE issues with my network connection. I ALWAYS blamed my IPS, but in the end it turned out it was my WIFI connection. WIFI is made for comfort and not for stability and speed. If you want to game, stability is the number one priority you only ever going to get with a wired connection. So since that day its the first thing anyone should ever try. WIFI is a triky pony and cannot be trusted, regardless of what many will say. For gaming a wired connection is a MUST:

But maybe you have already tried.

If you have some mobile device - a laptop/notebook - you can check it out with that first. It will be a different world. And even, as you said, the problems are new, they most likely are connected to the connection between router and computer. Thats the easiest thing to check and wont involove any other parties. If that check turns out to be negative we can move on to other options. But a packageloss between router and computer seems to be the issue here.

I was getting a lot of packet loss a few days ago, turns out that as my Virgin router is by my feet and I often knock it over (harmlessly onto a carpet) and then right it I was unwittingly unscrewing the router cable just enough for it to work still but with problems lol

I've had this problem before indeed and the solution is to: Buy a proper router yourself and do *NOT* under any circumstances use the garbage you get from your ISP.

Had exactly the same issue with BT in London because the WiFi-router they give you is old outdated garbage that can't handle serious traffic and/or gaming properly, it simply can't cope with it.

After I bought this one, disabled the WiFi on the BT garbage and hooked it up to the BT router all the troubles were gone.

Also, I see you are using network via the power lines in your home, while this is all fancy for light browsing etc it's not great for things like gaming as the performance is not consistent. Either use an Ethernet cable or buy a proper router like the one above and use WiFi.
